The road to home is so much longer than was the road away
When I was young and so much stronger and could decide to stay
Every night it takes its time to turn around today
With all my heart and all my mind, I cry and try to pray[Chorus]
Don't let me stop until the lights of home are in my eyes
Don't let me drop until I fall into your long embrace
If I could only feel the ecstasy of hope's fulfilled surprise
Then each and every mile will be worthwhile
When by love they're all erasedI can see my Father running, and His arms are opened wide
And if His love was not so stunning, I would try to run and hide
All the things I've done, where I've been, the times of sin and shame
But I can't resist the leap of hope every time He calls my name[Chorus]
Don't let me stop until the lights of home are in my eyes
Don't let me drop until I fall into your long embrace
I can almost feel the ecstasy of hope's fulfilled surprise
And each and every mile will be worthwhile
When by love they're all erased
